Very nice and elegant looking necklace
By Ms Thrifty Shopper
from Center, TX
About Me Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Practical, Retired
Comments about Lord's Prayer Neckalce:
I love this Lord's Prayer Necklace. I usually wear it everyday. I love the fact that the Lord's Words,The 23rd Psalm, is enclosed in it, even if it is not readable. It is comforting to have it close to my heart, and encouraging.It is a nice size and the accent of the Austrian crystals reflects the light and makes it attractive, yet not too flashy, and can be worn with anything. I attached the magnetic clasp to the chain clasp to make it easier to put on and fasten.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

A game of group silliness from Emperor Matt, of PlayFair
1. Stand in a circle
2. Close your eyes -- unless you're the one person who doesn't want to
3. With your eyes still closed, "look" at someone more or less across the circle from you
4. After a few seconds of blissful eye-closedness, the person who wanted to keep his or her eyes open says some eye-opening bit of clever repartee, like, "open your eyes."
5. When you open your eyes, if you find yourself looking at anyone who is looking at you, scream.
6. Repeat.
7. The game ends when no one screams.
A variation we developed at Esalen:
1. Stand in a circle.
2. Silently attempt to establish eye contact with someone in the circle, creating a non-verbal agreement that if s/he will point at you, you will point at him/her.
3. Now, everyone, except for the referee, closes their eyes, and points.
4. When the referee tells everyone to open their eyes, the people who are indeed pointing at each other get to scream. Repeat.
5. The game ends when everyone screams.
n.b.: I was playing with a group of eight-year-olds about, well, 30 years ago. We made up a finger-pointing variation of Screamless. It all started because about a minute after I had asked them to close their eyes, someone said "Johnny (name changed to protect my memory)'s peeking." I thought this was profoundly humorous (how could anyone know anyone else is peeking unless she or he was also?), but the kids didn't. So, the next round I suggested that if anyone sees anyone peeking, then they should point at the peeker. Then, if anyone was pointing at anyone who was also pointing at him or her, they'd change places or laugh or something. This game became inexplicably popular. --- BDK

Golfing World: Tony Johnstone's Bunker Shot For A Victory
Former European Tour and Sunshine Tour golfer Tony Johnstone reflects on the shot which he ranks above all others in his career, which came en route to victory in QatarTony Johnston. One of the best shots I've ever played was my greenside bunker shot on the 17th hole in the final round at Qatar. It was blowing an absolute hooley. I was one ahead at that point. Yeah, I was one ahead of Robert Carson. It was only a 7-iron off the tee but it was, I mean it was just a gale. And I lost it right on the wind and it plugged in the righthand greenside bunker . Not much green to work with. Just the sort of stuff you have nightmares about. And I got in there you know,

McIlroy (74) trails Ilonen by 10 at Irish Open
Thursday round 1 highlights from the Irish Open where Mikko Ilonen shot a 7-under 64 to set a new Deerpark course record.struggled all day and could only manage a 74, three over par. Paul Casey fared better, he was out in 33 on the front nine, that's three under par, including a birdie at the ninth. But
Early Sunday action from Royal Aberdeen
Catch all the action including tournament leader Justin Rose from the final round of the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open.can flip over to NBC, that coverage is coming on right now. Justin Rose is in command, trip, and we saw him win on the PGA tour a couple of weekends ago, right on point again. Well he is, and trying to win in consecutive starts for the first time in his career and trying to win for the first time on the European Tour, since 2007 and he looks in great form so far in round four. What I find so impressive about what Justin Rose is doing right now, is he is making putts from everywhere. Typically we know him as a great ball striker, but when his putter is getting hot he is gonna be very difficult to stop coming down that back nine. You gotta go back to 1998 in his debut in the open Championship at Royal Birkdale, which is where the women are playing by the way, to get a top 10 for Justin Rose in that major championship, a win here and he could instantly become a heavy favorite going into Royal Liverpool. Let's take younice moves on Sunday, Karlsson and of course Broberg, a four time challenge tour winner, that would cut Rose's lead, to two. And here he is on the ninth, this is to shoot 31 on the front nine, this doesn't bode well because he's eight under on the back nine this week watch out. Yeah, clearly in his comfort zone. Wow. Not only, on this back nine but also in life Justin Rose , a major champion last year at the US Open at Marion, finished with a good showing at number two at his titled defense at top 15 there as well as at the masters. He's on form in just about every category, Rose with his three shot advantage over a pair Swedes, and a Scotsman trying to follow in Colin Montgomery's footsteps by winning his home open. Monty the only Scotsman in history to do that, Rickie Fowler now in a tie forgonna be a stern test, for sure, but if you look at Justin Rose . And, this is the sixth oldest golf course in the world, and the world number six may become world number three with the win here. Looks in great form, If he does win consecutive weeks, clearly he's gonna jump up those favorites and should be on everybody's short list next week at Hoylake. He's in his early 30s Paige and we always talk about a golfer's prime, he seems to be right on track as the textbook would lay it out. What in your mind has changed about Justin Rose to take him to this next level? I know and this is not something we would have expected, I mean we obviously at Burkdale in 1998 saw the potential of what Justin Rose could become, but when he did turn pro, I mean he, he missed a ton of cuts. And he was able to turn it around, It's almost a, a redemption story for Justin Rose now moving into like you said, his early 30s. Well, obviously Justin Rose with a chokehold on this tournament for the moment, stranger things have happened but again, you could watch it on NBC to

Born during the rise of grunge and alternative rock, Collective Soul broke into mainstream popularity when they rose to international fame in 1993 with the rock anthem "Shine." The multi-platinum quintet has been making music for two decades since then and has a catalog of #1 hits under their belts. Collective Soul helped shape and define alternative rock with lots of guitars and attitude.
The platinum-selling rock band is readying for the Fall 2015 release of their long-awaited ninth album, See What You Started by Continuing, followed by a tour to celebrate the band's 21st birthday. Band leader Ed Roland says the band took some time off, came back energized about what they are and always have been: a rock band. "This is the best and most rocking album we've done. It's one of those, 'just sit back and rock' records."
Collective Soul continues to rock quite simply for the love of music. The band that helped sonically define alternative rock is more focused and energized than ever. And as Ed Roland puts it, fans can continue to expect "lots of guitars and a fun attitude from the southern gentlemen of rock and roll."

Historical Traveler Reviews Beach House at Half Moon Bay
Mediocre and overpriced
The hotel had a nice location and the room was very nice... but for the price, I expected something special, and this was not it.
We had to wait for the single small elevator while a housekeeper took her cart up in the elevator - which was too small to handle anyone else along with the cart.
The "ocean view" looks out on a small harbor protected by a breakwater. No crashing waves - just tourist boats.
The room did not have the usual mini-bar. Instead, if you wanted something in your room, you could fill out an order form and take it to the front desk. No room service - in fact, no food service at all, besides the continental breakfast (the restaurant that previously delivered has gone out of business).
In a drawer of the desk, we found a Peninsula guidebook and some San Francisco information - but nothing about the nearby coast, towns, galleries, and shops. There was a printed list of local restaurants with one-line descriptions.
Shortly after we arrived, the room phone rang. It was the front desk telling me that they had been unable to get me a reservation at one of the local restaurants. I had not requested a reservation, but apparently another guest had - and the guy at the front desk got the rooms mixed up.
I don't want this to sound terrible... we had a nice, relaxing time. But next time I am in the area, I'll try someplace else.
Overrated Beach House
My boyfriend and I celebrated our 4-year anniversary at the Beach House in November 2004. It was our first time at this property, and because of the good reviews we read, we decided to give it a try. The first room given to us smelled very smoky, so we moved to another room, which had a broken drape lever, and a broken lamp switch. Although the bathroom was clean, the towels smelled like clorox. The worst part was, the window facing our bed woke us up as early as 6:00 next morning with the rays of the sun against our faces.
Upon check out, we brought up these issues at the front desk, hoping we'll be offered some kind of incentive, but we got nothing, not even a slight discount. The room was not worth $295 a night and is over-rated. We are not going back to this place. We think this place needs to learn the importance of customer relations.
Were able to grab a last minute reservation on a non-busy weekend, and even got a free upgrade to a partial ocean view! What a marvelous, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Ideally located, immaculately clean... everything we wanted in a room! VERY comfortable beds, too! Be aware... if you travel in on weekends in October, the drive is a CRAWL because of all the families visiting the local pumpkin patches! Even so, it was worth it to stay at the wonderful Beach House.
Loved it
The suites are wonderful, the staff is very helpful and serviceminded, loved The Beach House.
Beautiful Beach House
We stayed here for five nights (8/04) and found the room spacious, spotless and beautifully decorated.
The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.
We loved the gorgeous flowers on the grounds.
Our only suggestion is that the continental breakfast is all pastries and fruit. Some cereal, yogurt and cheeses would be good additions.
Creature comforts
We honeymooned in HMB and return as often as we can; the Beach House was a new place for us.
Though the BH is right on the Hwy, once inside, we felt far from traffic. The desk staff checked us in efficiently and pleasantly, though it turned out that our room was occupied. Our key card was to the "Condominium for Sale" and we checked in in the middle of an open house. Ouch.
We were well taken care of:
Though we had reserved a partial ocean view, we were upgraded to a full view for our trouble-- quickly and pleasantly.
The personnel also offered helpful (solicited) advice for meal choices and other logistics.
Beach House is a relaxing and comforting space. There are more luxurious places, but you will pay for them and we're not sure they're worth it.
Nice, but lacking amenities to earn it's pricetag
It's no doubt clean, modern and in a great location by the beach, but the Beach House lacks some of the classy amenities desired in upscale hotels.
We paid the $335 rack rate for an ocean view suite and found the room to be a good size, the bathroom to be clean and modern, the ocean breeze to be pleasant.
But here's what's lacking for a hotel trying to climb above the $300 pricepoint:
* pool is tiny and there were only three lounge chairs. Everyone else had to sit in white plastic chairs - the $7.99 Target variety.
* staff is pleasant but not that well informed about the local area and not as attentive as somewhere like the neighboring ritz.
* none of the little touches - there's a soda machine on the patio, not chilled water waiting for guests. C'mon, don't nickle and dime us on beverages.
* Room balconies are tiny
Overall a very nice hotel, but for spending this amount of money, i'd be tempted to try the Ritz or another local B&B before returning to the Beach House.
Highly recommend
We stayed at the Beach House on June 16 & 17, 2004 while I attended a conference at the nearby Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. The Ritz was booked up, so we stayed at the Beach House. This hotel is beautiful and very clean. Our room had a separate living room with small kitchette. The bathroom was large and clean with both a shower and tub. Each room has a deck where you can sit and look out on the ocean. They serve a continental breakfast every morning (included) with fruit, pastries, bagels, coffee, juices, etc. We paid $255 per night for the loft suite (still cheaper than the Ritz). I recommend this hotel. If pressed, the only complaint that I have is the fog horn - about a mile away.
Love the Beach House
The Beach House is a perfect getaway--only half an hour's drive from frantic Silicon Valley (or San Francisco), but a world apart. The limitless ocean and harbor views, fabulously comfortable beds, quiet music on your in-room stereo/CD player are so tranquil...ideal stress-busters! Great restaurants nearby, too. We go often, and find that even a stay of one evening is nearly as refreshing as a complete vacation.
Romantic, tranquill getaway!
If your looking for warmth, quiet & comfort-you'll find it here. We enjoyed the best ocean views, tiered bedroom w/ down bedding and a romantic fireplace. Sitting out on the bacony overlooking the beach & ocean was spectacular! Well worth the price to go again!

Movie review: Dalai Lama Renaissance
Dalai Lama Renaissance could be considered a study in irony.
Forty men and women: scientists, artists, and philosophers, gather as "The Synthesis Group," with the goal of holding a week long conference, then presenting their ideas for solving the world's problems to His Holiness. Almost from the start, intellectual chaos ensues, resulting in a movie that borders on Mony Python-esque in its absurdity. Egos almost immediately come out on the first day of the conference and begin to interfere with the intent of the gathering. Not only do the members of the group not really listen to one another, they don't really listen to His Holiness when he recommends against a boycott of Chinese products and investments, which is their solution to the world's crises after a week's worth of rather spirited debate. (Their other idea is to form a council that would, in essence, rule the world, with His Holiness at its head. He very quickly and firmly takes a pass on that.) In fact, at one point, when a "witness" to the group's work points out that the Dalai Lama specifically stated that he was more concerned with all of humanity than the Tibet issue, the "witness" is told "that's not a point of order."
Shortly thereafter, the focus of the discussion becomes who will be granted a singular audience with the Dalai Lama and for how long as about half of the group feels that they as individuals hold the key to the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, and that no one else but they can deliver this oh-so-important message. (Also intriguing to hear is the rather creative usage of "compassion" by those who seem to be exhibiting it the least.) Dalai Lama Renaissance is an interesting portrayal of human ego pitted against compassion and altruism, exemplifying the very essence of the issues facing the world today.
From Wakan Films, narrated by Harrison Ford, available from the Dalai Lama Renaissance website at a 15% discount.

What a fascinating review! You really got right to the heart of the matter. I'm going to post this link on my Yoga Journal blog for discussion.
Now that I've experienced a few of your reviews, I'm anxious to go back and catch up on all the others.

Generally, respondents middle-aged and older with incomes above the average perceive cinema as a comfortable place of leisure, not only as a place where you can watch a movie. Therefore, they are more often ranked as an important factor in choosing a cinema parameters such as the presence of cafes, additional entertainment, not forgetting to mention all the other attributes of the overall comfort.

Gigi's is a smart new Mayfair venue for Italian food with plenty of modern twists, most coming from the direction of the renowned chef Ivan Simeoli. That combined orientation means that alongside a classic starter of vitello tonnato (cold sliced veal with tuna sauce) you might find golden and red beetroot served with buffalo mozzarella and a signature dish of sea bass tartare and langoustine, served with honey and lemon caramel.
Among the fish dishes is a traditional fritto misto and pasta dishes include an equally traditional linguine with bottarga (dried, salted fish roe) with lemon, chives and celery. Meat dishes include braised veal cheek, one of Italy's most famous dishes, but also innovative creations such as a 'Trilogy' of lamb (rack, loin and a braised roll), served with celeriac purée. The dessert list is a mixture of own-made sorbets and classic Italians like tiramisu and pastiera, the famous Neapolitan ricotta cake.
In addition to its numerous Italian wines, Gigi's list has a larger selection of bottles from France and the new world than you'll find in most Italian restaurants in London. There are classic and original cocktails (with numerous variants of the Martini) and a notable selection of liqueurs. You can head outside to the terrace on days or evenings when the weather is fine, and there's a live DJ from Thursday to Saturday nights.

Samer Kamal's driver drops him off at our meeting point — an empty parking lot next to a garbage dump, just off a desert highway — in a custom-painted Smart car.
At first glance, Kamal looks like most other expats who have flocked to the Persian Gulf seeking their fortune. He is overdressed in designer sunglasses and a Dolce & Gabbana belt, and sweating in the 40-degree midsummer heat. While other people have been lured to the United Arab Emirates by dreams of turning profits in investment banking or land deals, Kamal's gold mine is altogether different. It is garbage: the massive, stinking, 40-square-kilometre Al Saj'ah landfill on the edge of Sharjah, a sleepy, conservative emirate adjacent to glitzy Dubai.
"This is where the war begins," says Kamal, the 35-year-old Canadian who is managing director of Bee'ah, a maverick environmental company that recently took control of the Middle East's largest landfill and recycling facility.
Kamal's dream is to introduce universal recycling of household waste to Sharjah, and eventually across the Middle East. It's a daunting task for someone with no prior experience in waste management, and especially difficult in a region where the typical solution for dealing with garbage is to bury it in the desert. Still, in 2007, Kamal set up Bee'ah (the name means "environment" in Arabic) in partnership with the municipality of Sharjah, which made a $41-million capital investment in the company and retains a 50-per-cent stake, with the remainder owned by two private companies — one in Britain and one in Sharjah.
Bee'ah faces some staggering challenges: a culture that is not only notorious for its consumption but also suffers from a dearth of local waste-management experts, to say nothing of the extreme heat that hinders decomposition. It didn't help that the company started operating in 2008 when, as Kamal says, the "bottom fell out of the post-consumer commodity market. But it is on the rise again and, in the coming months, we think it might go right back to where it was in 2006."
While the UAE's stunning growth has included such headline-grabbing developments as man-made islands, sky-busting towers, and miniature "cities" devoted to culture, the Internet and the media, the country also harbours a dirty secret: It is home to one of the highest per-capita carbon footprints in the world. According to a figure referenced by Kamal, if the rest of the world consumed resources at the same rate as the UAE, we would need 13.8 Earths to sustain us. It's a depressing figure, but one that represents a huge opportunity for Kamal. "It sounds cliché, but one man's trash really is another man's treasure."
Kamal's eureka moment came in 2006, while he was visiting his mother in Sharjah. They were cooking dinner together and, when they were cleaning up, Kamal noticed that all of the garbage — food, cans, plastics and bottles — was tossed into the same trash bin. Having grown accustomed to recycling in Canada, he felt a wave of guilt. He also saw a golden opportunity, and began investigating recycling as a way of solving the emirate's excess waste problems.
By coincidence, Sharjah's rulers were just then looking at overhauling the emirate's garbage policies. As Kamal tells it, the Emir, His Highness Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, "looked at the circumstances in Sharjah and said they must change. We must do something more than we're doing now. … There was this point where the ruling family recognized that there's a gap between what they were trying to accomplish as a family-friendly, cultural, educationally driven emirate and its environmental conditions."
Before getting together with Sharjah's ruling family (the meeting was arranged by Kamal's mother), Kamal delivered a written summary of the benefits of recycling. That led to a phone conversation with Sharjah's ruler, followed by meetings with government officials. Eventually, Kamal was invited to meet with the emir, who approved the project. In 2007, Bee'ah was incorporated, with Kamal as managing director. He does not own any shares, but he does sit on the board.
Kamal has proved to be a quick study in the art of waste management. In many ways, however, it's an unlikely career for the University of Toronto graduate, who studied pharmacology and toxicology. His CV lists lower-profile work stints—negotiating contracts at Bell Canada and marketing Internet software for a Toronto dotcom. "Like a lot of people who graduated in the '90s, it took me a while to find my calling," he admits.
Born in Longueil, on the south shore of Montreal, Kamal's parents are of Palestinian descent. His father immigrated to Canada to study engineering at the University of Waterloo, and Kamal's upbringing straddled Canada and the Middle East. When he was six, he moved to Sharjah, where his father worked as an engineer for Arabtec, a large Emirati construction company. Kamal's mother was the founding general manager of the Sharjah Ladies' Club, an exclusive arts and cultural centre. Because of their prominent positions in Sharjah, the Kamals became friendly with the Al Qasimi ruling family.
The Sharjah of Kamal's childhood in the '70s was still a place where alcohol was served, and a vibrant social scene that dwarfed that of Dubai. It is still considered the cultural capital of the UAE, with an international book fair, 17 museums and a number of soaring, beautiful mosques. But in the late '70s, Sharjah began imposing some of the strictest laws in the UAE, including a ban on the sale, possession and consumption of alcohol. Men and women are required by law to dress conservatively; mixing between unmarried men and woman is strictly illegal.
In other ways — particularly when it comes to the business of waste management and the environment — Kamal argues that Sharjah is downright progressive.
Samer Kamal is standing in Bee'ah's nerve centre, a cavernous warehouse surrounded by mountains of household and industrial waste, the inconvenient byproduct of a staggering building boom that has accelerated in lockstep with the swelling population. Bee'ah's 220,000-square-foot, four-storey Material Recovery Facility (MRF) went online earlier this year, transforming raw material collected from 1,500 recycling bins stationed throughout Sharjah into precious bales of post-consumer material. Previously, all of the waste materials, including recyclables, were simply buried.
While Kamal was assembling his management team, 50 recycling bins were installed across the city as part of a co-operative pilot project that Kamal was adamant would be more successful than enforcing compliance in the early stages. "The approach we believe in is to start by giving organizations and individuals the opportunity to act voluntarily ... you'll gain a certain percentage of that community's support right away, and then introduce regulations that will require they act responsibly whether they choose to do so or not."
The strategy proved effective — there are now 1,800 recycling bins dotted around Sharjah's streets. Most are full on a daily basis, and the usage rate is approximately 85 per cent, the same as in Canada. "There are a few things that have been fantastic in the last little while. ... Both the business community and the residential community have begun to understand that there's a challenge we need to face and we need to face it as assertively as we can," Kamal says.
In May, 2009, Bee'ah took control of the Al Saj'ah landfill, which processes up to 39,000 tonnes of waste a day through its recycling facility, including trash from Sharjah's previous landfill, located near the university.
Reinhart Wilkes, who is operations manager at Al Saj'ah, recently visited the largest landfill in the United States, in Puenta Hills, just east of Los Angeles. "I asked them what kind of tonnage they got on a daily basis. At peak times, they said about 13,000 tonnes. I said, 'I have that by lunchtime.' "
Operating at full capacity, the MRF can process 3,200 tonnes a day, through a combination of manual and mechanical sorting. What's left over goes into the landfill. Hundreds of workers, mainly from India and Pakistan, spend their days separating recyclables from garbage as it travels along whirring conveyor belts. The smell is overwhelming, but most of the workers, dressed in coveralls, have grown so accustomed to the stench that they don't bother wearing the white gas masks that are provided. They are paid relatively good wages for the region, about $1,000 a month, and the company provides them with decent accommodation and a trip home every year. "When we went overseas to recruit, we were overwhelmed. People are lining up for these jobs," Kamal says.
Bee'ah sells its post-consumer recyclables, which are machine-packaged into bales, to local buyers, including its owner, and plans to seek buyers further afield as its recycling facility ramps up. In May, the city of Sharjah agreed to purchase rubber crumb produced at Bee'ah's tire recycling facility, where a cryogenic process is used to transform a mountain of eight million tires into powder. It can be used to construct roads or create bouncy surfaces for children's playgrounds.
For Kamal, the business transaction is a simple one: "You give us recyclable material, and we recycle it in a responsible fashion."
Bee'ah boasts $1.47 billion in assets and 600 employees, mostly waste sorters, as well as an international management team from Europe, North America and the Middle East. The company, still running at half capacity, has yet to turn a profit, a fact that leaves Kamal unfazed. "What we've seen with His Highness's decision to launch Bee'ah is really the opposite of ... concerning himself with the economics or logistics. What we're doing here is more complex than that."
Still, Kamal is confident that Bee'ah will be profitable in two years. The challenges, he says, are no different than those faced by Western countries 20 years ago. Revenue currently comes from a combination of sources: fees received from the city of Sharjah to collect the emirate's waste, sweep its streets and manage the landfill, as well as from the sale of post-consumer waste. Bee'ah's biggest cost lies in sorting the waste once it's arrived at the landfill. Still, there's the small matter of convincing residents that they should recycle.
Bee'ah fields two to three calls each day from schools, offices and households that are interested in getting a blue bin, and waste experts in the region still warn of a looming crisis if the UAE and the wider Middle East don't come to terms with the rising tide of waste. "What we are lacking is the political will, financing and technology," said Fareed Bushehri, an officer at the United Nations Environment Programme's regional office for West Africa, when he spoke at the Middle East Waste Summit in Dubai in May.
Frederic Vigier, chief executive at Dubai waste-management company Trashco, argues that recycling programs are difficult to manage. While the UAE government has declared its desire to create and expand recycling, "the thing is to see how to convert intention into action."
Without tough legislation, he says, there is no way to force people to stop dumping. "We know very well that the recycling process costs money."
Jeremy Byatt, Bee'ah's director of environmental responsibility disagrees, saying that if you provide people with the option of recycling, they will. "We have all these chicken-and-egg problems. You cannot ask people to recycle unless you have a place to process it."
With that in mind, Kamal has his sights set on expansion. There are no plans for an IPO, but he hasn't ruled out anything. "There is no reason we couldn't take what we are doing here and move to other places."

Robbie Kunreuther's Latest Posts
The Good and the Bad Union Representative
What defines a "good" or "effective" labor organization and its leadership? The author says that he has recently been encountering a rash of agency officials with a profoundly negative experience of their employee representatives. He describes why he believes this to be the case and what he believes leads to these negative attitudes and experiences.
The Myth of Consistency
Should two employees with different work histories, attitudes, and behaviors receive the same discipline for the same offense? While this may seem like a simple question, the author highlights a scenario that makes it more complicated and explains why federal managers should not always apply consistent discipline.
Who Says We Have Unacceptable Performers?
The author says that there are too many managers who believe it's impossible to rid the government of unacceptable performers, but that a recent report from the GAO shows otherwise. He outlines some reasons why managers tend to freeze when addressing problem employees as well as some suggestions for ways to better deal with these types of situations.
Clear the Table!
The author discusses the "table of penalties" often used by HR departments in agencies and explains why he believes it is no longer needed.
It's Time to Wake up and Call Back
Which is worse for a Federal agency to have, a bad employee or a bad supervisor? No doubt, the government would rather have neither, but the author says the effects of inept, biased, or malevolent leaders are among the greatest risks to your agency's mission.
Who Decides? Due Process May Be Due For A Redo
Fewer than 3% of the EEO cases were litigated are lost by agencies. The EEOC tried to put a spin on this disturbing statistic by noting that more than one-fourth of cases are settled and "Many of these resolutions contained favorable outcomes for the complainant, including monetary and non-monetary benefits."
Reconfiguring Discipline: Memos, Meetings and Money
Have you ever had a coworker who spent more time/energy avoiding work than actually working? The author says attitudes and conduct of these people can result in consequences for agencies if not addressed and offers some suggestions for dealing with employee behavior issues.
The Uniquely Unionized National Guard
National Guard Technicians are, with a few exceptions in every state, members of an "excepted service". While that term applies to many categories of Feds, Title 32 is unique to the Guard and reserves. The author offers some details on what this means.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's decision to replace two top security commanders has been put on hold temporarily, according to PA sources in Ramallah.
The two commanders, General Intelligence Service chief Tawfik Tirawi and National Security Force head Diab al-Ali, rejected the dismissal, according to Khaled Abu Toameh, a Jerusalem Post Palestinian Affairs correspondent.
Tirawi and Ali have spearheaded efforts by Fatah security forces to prevent Hamas from strengthening its grip on the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).
In June 2007, Hamas wrested control of the Gaza Strip from Fatah forces in a bloody military coup.
According to Hamas, Fatah forces have arrested more than 1,500 of its members in the past two years.
But a senior Fatah official said Abbas's decision to replace Tirawi and Ali had more to do with their reaching retirement age than with their dealings with Hamas.
Tirawi, 61, who has held his position since the establishment of the PA in 1994, resigned in 2005 because of the government's refusal to fight lawlessness, but Abbas rejected his resignation.
Abbas recently appointed Ali head over the National Security Force.
